The Russian army is currently attacking the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. The occupiers would attack west from Lysychansk, the governor of the region said. Some attacks were repulsed. For example, Ukrainian troops fired on Russian ammunition depots.
“We are trying to stop the Russian armed groups across the board,” Ukrainian governor of Luhansk Serhiy Hajday said on Saturday. One challenge is that the Russian army is attacking from multiple sides and trying to invade the adjacent area. A “real hell” is being created by rocket attacks and artillery fire, Hajdaj said. However, the Ukrainian armed forces would courageously resist.
Shelling in Kharkov and Chernihiv
The Russian army probably wants to attack the larger Donetsk cities of Sloyansk and Kramatorsk first. Further combat operations are currently taking place in areas including Kharkov and Chernihiv, where civilian infrastructure was also affected, according to Ukrainian information. Some attacks can be repulsed. Ukrainian air, missile and artillery units are said to have fired at concentrations of Russian troops and ammunition depots. This led to significant losses for Russia.
Government appeals to the population
In addition, new battles may take place in the Zaporizhzhya region. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Wereshchuk called on residents in the occupied parts and in the Kherson region to get to safety. The government had previously announced its intention to take back the occupied territories as soon as the West supplied heavy weapons. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants to keep sending messages to other countries. “We work as much as possible at the forefront of foreign policy every day and under all circumstances,” he said in a video message on Friday. According to his own statement, Zelenskyj has already delivered 24 speeches to the chambers of deputies of EU members.
